Epi-Otic is a non-irritating, drying ear cleaner with disinfecting properties based on lactic acid and salicylic acid in encapsulated (spherulites) and in free form and contains chitosanide and sodium docusate. It is excellent for softening and removing excessive earwax and inflammatory material in the external auditory canal of dogs and cats.
Lactic acid has disinfectant properties (pH reduction). Salicylic acid has a keratolytic effect (softens the horny layer) and therefore has an anti-inflammatory and anti-itch effect. It has a drying effect. Spherulites are micro-spheres built up in layers that ensure a delayed release of active substances and thus a longer lasting effect. Chitosanide is a degradable biopolymer that adheres to the skin and hair with spherulites and has a moisture-regulating effect. Sodium docusate reduces surface tension, which results in a strong improvement of the penetrating capacity of the liquid.
